Having assumed to be a mountain lumberman, he had consistently talked as one acted as one. Now he came out of his chair as though a mighty spring had uncurled under him, and slapped an outspread hand to his forehead. "Great jumping Jehosaphat!" he exclaimed, and turning in her chair, the young woman studied him in perplexity. But Halloway's slip was brief and his recovery instant.
"Tired of life!" The young eyes flashed in that weird aureole of long wolf-hair. "Tired of life! Well, I should just pretty nearly think I wasn't." "H'm!
